[95] [96] 15 genera, in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in temperate zones [97] [98] Herbaceous perennials with erect stems that grow from bulbs or rhizomes.

Broad leaves and reticulate leaf veins, features typical of dicots, are found in a wide variety of monocot families: for example, Trillium, Smilax (greenbriar), Pogonia (an orchid), and the Dioscoreales (yams). [35] Potamogeton and Paris quadrifolia (herb-paris) are examples of monocots with tetramerous flowers. Other plants exhibit a mixture ...
The alismatid monocots are a group of 15 interrelated families of flowering plants, named for their largest order, Alismatales.

The Liliales are a diverse order of predominantly perennial erect or twining herbaceous and climbing plants. Climbers, such as the herbaceous Gloriosa (Colchicaceae) and Bomarea (Alstroemeriaceae), are common in the Americas in temperate and tropical zones, while most species of the subtropical and tropical genus Smilax (Smilacaceae) are herbaceous or woody climbers and comprise much of the ...
This category should contain only articles about the families of monocots, when the articles are at the scientific name, or redirects from the scientific name in the case of monotypic taxa or articles at the English name.
This is the top level category for the monocots, a clade of angiosperms (flowering plants) in the APG IV system (2016), and for the subdivisions of the clade (orders, families, genera and species). Most entries should be put in one of the subcategories, but a small number of articles relating to orders, families or genera too small to have ...
